Kazeer [188]3 years ago

Answer:

d.   P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P :  43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O:  56.4 / 15.999 =  3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

When dT = Kf * molality * i
                = Kf*m*i
and when molality = (no of moles of solute) / Kg of solvent
                               = 2.5g /250g x 1 mol /85 g x1000g/kg
                               =0.1176 molal
and Kf for water = - 1.86 and dT = -0.255
by substitution 
0.255 = 1.86* 0.1176 * i
∴ i = 1.166
when the degree of dissociation formula is: when n=2 and  i = 1.166
a= i-1/n-1 = (1.166-1)/(2-1) = 0.359 by substitution by a and c(molality) in K formula
∴K = Ca^2/(1-a)
     = (0.1176 * 0.359)^2 / (1-0.359)
     = 2.8x10^-3

Answer:

5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above, we can say that:

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of ammonia (NH3) produced by the reaction of 7.5×10⁵ L of H2. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Therefore, 7.5×10⁵ L of H2 will react to produce = (7.5×10⁵ × 2)/3 = 5×10⁵ L of NH3.

Thus, 5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3) is produced from the reaction.

Determine whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative. grams of carbohydrates in a donut. grams of carbohydrates in a do
Sophie [7]
You would know that the variable is quantitative if it shows any number to express the quantity. For example, quantitative variables are 50°C, 5 atm, 2 moles, 100 L and so on. A variable is qualitative if it expresses a relative quantity but not expressing a number. Examples would be: few, too hot, several, or even describing the characteristics of a variable. Hence, when the variable is in grams, then that would be quantitative.
